  1. Socks Or No Socks??

    April 1, 2012 by Britton_Riley

    If this girl was blonde, she would have been me this week. GRUMPY! Thank goodness for Scrammy, because otherwise I would have drank for sure! (But I definitely wouldn’t have driven anywhere!)


    How was your week? I hope your attitude was better than mine.

    I was so happy when Friday was finally here.

    What a wonderful message for a Friday! I loved it and wanted to share it with you :) I love all things positive. There is so much negative in our lives that I like to put extra focus on the positive stuff.

    Scrammy has been really itchy lately. It’s not very cool at all. I feel like I need Calamine Lotion or something! My skin is getting irritated and I wish I knew if I could put something on it.

    I can’t help it. I scratch and scratch and scratch. My mister fusses at me when I scratch, but I just can’t help it.

    Here’s the red, inflamed, itchy spot under Scrammy….try to overlook the lovely leg stubble

    Yeah, it feels great.

    I am always learning new things from my fabulous fellow Scrammers. A recent comment  now has me a bit paranoid again.

    Gaye says:

    So, I was arrested when my SCRAM showed I was tampering with it for over a day early this week. PLUS, it showed 2 spikes of alcohol in my system, as well. The gal who runs the program for the bracelets did let me go home, as she explained that actual spikes in the body do not occur on a graph. It may spike up, but it is reduced gradually on a graph. This being said, she mentioned 3 times to put a sock over it. So, I shower, then IMMEDIATELY put a sock over it. This prevents any type of alcohol in a spray, etc to get on it, PLUS it keeps it tight to the skin, which prevents a FALSE TAMPERING!! (Needless to say, I still obtained an additional day to my “time”). BS, but not going to pay the attorney so much more money to fight an extra day at home.

    KEEP A SOCK ON IT, LADIES!!!

    Oooh, what a scary story! Sounds like Gaye is also on house arrest as well as the Scramx Alcohol Monitoring System?

    Perhaps I have become too comfortable. I spray hair spray without covering Scrammy and maybe I’ve just been lucky. I try to run out of the room quickly after I spray so that it doesn’t bother Scram. So far, so good.

    I do not wear socks that cover or protect Scrammy, but according to Gaye’s Scram lady, it is highly advised. Somehow, the thought of wearing socks in this heat makes me want to move to Alaska for the next 114 days. Also, I refuse to give up my flip flops. I would definitely have to get these:

    These are super hot!

    Is Scrammy THAT super sensitive? I sure hope not. I just want the next 114 days to go by smoothly. For now, I will not wear socks. What do y’all think? Good idea? Bad idea? Oh dear, this is so complicated! Socks will NOT go with the cute heels I wear to work every day. Oh boy, I may really have to rethink my wardrobe…..HELP!

    Scrammy has been doing some strange and unusual things lately…..such as dialing in to the mothership and letting the aliens read my bracelet at odd times.  As you might recall, Gabriele and I set it up so that Scrammy would dial in to the Mothership every night/morning at 3 am while I am sleeping. (When Scrammy’s modem beside my bed connects to the “Mothership” as I call it, it reads the bracelet and Scrammy “dumps” all of the readings it has taken throughout the day….readings are taken every 30 minutes 24 hours a day, every day.)

    The first time I noticed this happening at an abnormal time of day was when I was getting ready in the morning. I had just dried my hair and sprayed my coif with LOTS of hairspray….Texas style big hair, y’all! I walked out of my bathroom and into my bedroom and I spotted the red light. Immediately I called Gabriele and she wasn’t there! I explained to the nice man on the phone that it is scheduled to dial in at 3 am and that I had just sprayed hairspray and I hoped that it didn’t trigger Scrammy to dial in. He said it is fine, no big deal, nothing to worry about. Today, it happened again. It freaks me out when I see that red light and “Reading Bracelet” is displayed across the screen when it isn’t 3 am.

    Did you hear about Lindsay Lohan??? Her probation is over!! Congratulations, Lindsay! I hope that she has the strength to make better decisions from this point forward…..hopefully she will heed the judge’s advice and focus on her career.
